Bonjour/Hi! I am finishing a master’s degree in computer science at McGill University and Mila. I'm advised by Prof. Prakash Panangaden and Prof. Doina Precup, and I do research on value alignment and reinforcement learning. In September 2026, I will begin a PhD at Harvard University.

I was a visiting student researcher at Stanford University during the 2024–2025 academic year, where I worked with Prof. Benjamin Van Roy. Prior to that, I was a research intern at the Center for Human-Compatible AI (UC Berkeley), working with Cameron Allen. My master’s research was supported by the NSERC Canada Graduate Scholarship and a Mitacs GlobaLink research award.

In 2025, I led a small team of software developers at Hortus AI. We created a marketplace for public-sector AI that's designed to make partnerships transparent, ethical, and easy to navigate.
